Why is the world convinced that so many smart, capable, successful people are so dumb? I don\u2019t have the answer, but when an online platform designed for the exchange of thoughtful posts and ideas turns to <\/span>blatant censorship of health information<\/b>, something has gone very, very wrong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the back story:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A reader wrote to me recently asking permission to reprint one of my posts: <\/span>Why This Yale Scientist is Concerned about the TIMING of Vaccines<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

She’s a smart, capable and successful woman who has launched successful businesses. She\u2019s also a tireless defender of <\/span>medical freedom<\/span><\/a>. She asked to reprint my article because Facebook has been censoring JenniferMargulis.net and this amazing lady (she asked not to use her name \u2026 yet! We\u2019re working on something together, which we hope to be able to share with you soon) thought if the article were up on Medium.com she could share it more effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Censorship at Medium<\/h3>\n

\u201cShortly after our last exchange, Medium wrote to me again, and said that this time, even though I got your permission and took out some sort of advertising link on the post (which were their first reason for having issues, i.e., copyright\/permissions, etc.), they then informed me that I didn’t meet their \u2018Community Guidelines for Safety.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThey referenced<\/span><\/i> this link<\/span><\/i><\/a>, and likely this was their reasoning in particular:\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
